[quote author=Ezeanochie post=44528911]Embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki on friday said he would not yield to growing calls from Nigerians that he should step down amid growing corruption scandals.

Mr. Saraki said those calling for his resignation were being sponsored by politicians who had always opposed his leadership since he emerged Senate President last June, He added that his detractors were trying to circumvent the country’s judicial system.
Mr. Saraki was responding to a story published by PREMIUM TIMES earlier today, in which the Transition Monitoring Group lend its voice to a growing call for the Senate President’s ouster.
In a text message sent to our reporter by his Special Adviser on Media, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Mr. Saraki said he was not contemplating resignation.

“There’s a case in the Tribunal and a resultant appeal at the Court of Appeal,” the statement said. “The underlining philosophy of our legal system is that an accused person is presumed innocent until found guilty.”

“Those who are contemplating calls for resignation want to circumvent the judicial system. They are obviously being sponsored by some politicians.
“The Senate President is not contemplating any resignation. He will surely have his day in court.”
Foramfera
Since Mr. Saraki was arraigned by the Code of Conduct Tribunal and the PREMIUM TIMES expose about his secret offshore assets in tax havens, the calls for him to step down has continued to mount.
On Thursday, several activists and other Nigerians openly called on the Senate President to resign. They were joined today by the TMG.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported on Monday that Mr. Saraki failed to disclose four assets found to be in his wife’s name offshore, in violation of Nigeria’s code of conduct law.

That revelation came to light following the leak of a trove of internal data from the Panama-based offshore-provider, Mossack Fonseca, obtained by the German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) with PREMIUM TIMES and over 100 other media partners in 82 countries.

In his response to that publication, Mr. Saraki said the controversial assets belonged to the estate of his wife’s rich and famous family, and that the law did not mandate him to declare such a category of assets.
But PREMIUM TIMES later found that the assets neither belong to Toyin, his wife, nor to her family’s estate. They are clearly Mr. Saraki’s.

According to the new documents retrieved by PREMIUM TIMES from the massive Mossack Fonseca database, the assets in Toyin’s name are actually held in trust for Mr. Saraki, Nigeria’s third most powerful official.

Not when you've finally been indicted.
The US senate is been controlled by the opposition(Republicans).
The Nigerian senate should be manned by the Opposition(PDP)
*
Benefits:
1. Having the opposition control the legislature,will keep the executive ruling party on their toes. They'll strive to be even more efficient,accountable and swift in the implementation of working policies.
2. It strengthens true Democracy and competition.
#SupportEkweremadu
Who says America is better for that? Do you even know the problems in America policies? All countries with their own problems, how we manage the qualms is what we should focus on now.

Hehehehe, my brother, with what is presently happening to saraki, ekweremadu would reject that seat even if he is offered in a plater of gold.
You think he also would want his secrets and skeleton in his cupboard to be reviewed to the Nigerian public?
It musn't be Ekweremadu per say,any other PDP senator could mount the horse. The point is,the opposition(PDP) should man control of the senate to keep the executive fully in check.

I normally was not gon' respond to such comment as this,but lemme school you a lil'.
Did you realise that the PDP's government was more effecient and delivery in terms of service during their latter days when Aminu Tambuwal and other PDP legislators defected to APC,thereby giving the opposition(APC) a sort of control over the legislative arm?

The US Congress is not working well with an opposition held house. On the contrary they tried to kill Obama care, they've been anti gun control in spite of the large amounts of people dying from gun crimes. They are trying to block Obama appointing supreme Court justices and Obama has only been able to make headway based on his aggressive use of Executive Orders that bypass congressional approval.

The people of Nigeria voted for an APC controlled legislature and executive because they wanted to arm the President to dismantle corruption. The wishes of this majority of people are being tampered with by back room deals outside of the electoral process.

When PMB begins governing through executive orders, they will call him a dictator but that's is exactly what he will do if NASS want to hobble his program. The constitutional provisions backing the use of executive orders are there for him to use.

I get your drill bro.
But any other PDP senators re also politicians and there is no politician whom has gotten to such political stage in life with no skeletons in his cupboard. And that's what they won't want to be reviewed to the general public.

Not with the executive and its party elements trying to play into the affairs of the legislature. There should be separation of power,and this can truly be achieved when the opposition is in control of the legislative arm.

I don't need a compromised Nigerian legal system to tell me that Saraki is corrupt. The evidence is overwhelming! If he is not guilty, why hire 90 lawyers? Why bring in forensic experts from Israel? Why was he shopping round several courts to stall the trial? The 10 days breather given him by the apparently 'intimidated' CCT Chairman will be used to full advantage!! It is either a compromised judge will be made to give a satanic ruling stalling the ongoing CCT trial or put the Tribunal Chairman himself on trial!!! I don't see his conviction happening just like in the case of Ibori, until a court in Europe tries him. Time will prove me right.

Saraki should either decamp to PDP or resign so Ekweremadu can become the next Senate President. We can not afford to have silly APC members in sensitive positions anymore.

Well analized! Was it not This same nigerian judicial system That tried ibori and acquitted him of all corruption charges? But This same man hardly began trial overseas when he pleaded guilty in the face of overwhelming evidences and an incorruptable judiciary.
